Brady Udall: The Lonely Polygamist
05/07/2010 7:00 pm
Brady Udall (The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint) visits with his new novel, The Lonely Polygamist. Golden Richards, husband to four wives and father to twenty-eight children, is having the mother of all mid-life crises. His construction business is failing, his family has grown into an overpopulated mini-dukedom beset with insurrection and rivalry, and he is done in with grief: due to the accidental death of a daughter and the stillbirth of a son, he has come to doubt the capacity of his own heart. Udall tells a darkly humorous story of a deeply faithful man who, crippled by grief and the demands of work and family, becomes entangled in an affair that threatens to destroy his family’s future. The Lonely Polygamist is the story of an American family—with its inevitable dysfunctionality, heartbreak, and comedy—pushed to its outer limits.
